Publisher's Services

At City Desk Productions, we firmly believe that every good book provides a unique set of problems as well as a unique set of opportunities. The challenge of the book publisher is to find enough time and energy to mine a book's unique opportunities while not losing focus on the publishing house's core business.

City Desk Productions combines the experience of production manager, art director, managing editor, and sales manager. We understand that publishers often have to make difficult decisions when it comes to pursuing unique ideas to suit the needs of unique books. Whether it is exploring a unique production approach, developing a proper marketing plan for a new line of books, or indulging in any time-consuming web marketing for niche titles, opportunities are often undermined because publishers can't divert valuable staff time away from what "needs to be done." At the same time these projects don't warrant an investment in new staff (inc. salary, benefits, infrastructure, overhead).

If your publishing company wants to take advantage of a book's unique opportunities without distracting staff from their core business, City Desk can help. Our services enable publishers take chances on different products, imprints, and marketing plans with reduced risk and greater rewards.
